I’m overjoyed to share that our most precious daughter, Cora, arrived on July 16th at 1:29 am. She was 8.5lbs and 21 inches long and full of sweetness from the start. She is everything amazing I’d ever imagined and even more.
I hope to write about her birth because I’ve always found it so interesting to read what it’s really like. The short version: 18 hours long, barely avoided a c-section but have 4th degree tearing. Baby had the cord around her neck and needed the vacuum to speed her way into the world. I’m mostly just glad she’s safe and healthy, my tears will heal in time. But it was far from the ideal scenario. I am feeling pretty ok with it all though. Percosets help :).
Cora is more than I ever could have dreamed. She is quite honestly so sweet and gorgeous and just perfect. She’s sleeping, eating and snuggling and barely crying. I have no idea how we lucked out with this perfect babe but I am thankful every drowsy minute that I finally found my bebe.
Congrats mama! She is actually here! Should change your blog name to Lydia found bebe. π
Thank you! I should change my blog name :). Happy birthday!
Congratulations!! So happy for you!
Thank you!
Congratulations!!! I’m so very happy for you. Enjoy every moment, despite being in pain you will look back at these early moments so fondly.
I can’t wait to read your birth story. Ours seem somewhat similar. (I had my daughter at 12:57 a.m. after 20 hours of labor, 8.5 lbs, barely avoided C section, serious tearing, vacuum delivery…).
I love her name, by the way. Hope you’ll post pics!!
Oh man, our births sound so alike! I’m actually really shocked at how good I feel. Granted I’m still taking percosets, but I’m not in much pain. I’m giving myself a week and then I’ll try to switch to straight advil or something…
Congratulations, mama! Love her name π
Thank you! Her name really fits this little lady…
Congratulations! Sounds pretty painful what you had to go through π¦ I hope it’s true what they say that you quickly forget about the pains. Enjoy your little bundle of joy π
I am actually already sort of forgetting how upset I was during labor. It’s amazing what happens when you follow one intense experience with days of bliss and no sleep. You forget everything! Haha
Congratulations! So happy that Cora is here safe and sound π
Thank you!!
Congratulations!!! Xo
Thank you!
So happy for you! I LOVE her name! I m sending you lots of healing vibes–that sounds so difficult. Xo!
Oof it was. But I’d do it ten times over. Worth every little bit.
Love the name. So very happy for you and your husband!
Thank you so much!
This is wonderful! Congrats! Looking forward to birth story & pics of bebe! XO
omgosh, i know this post is old…i stumbled across your blog doing research on myo inositol in non-pcos patients…im crying for you!!!! So happy that you have your baby girl! I would really like to ask some questions about the myo inositol if you don’t mind…..how long were you on it prior to getting pregnant and did it change anything for you that you could tell (cycle length, etc)?
